Hey Jay - you are seriously the man for doing this for so long. I've read nearly the whole thing but that was while trying to fit other wheels :P

I have an 88 vert and am now looking at:

16x8 fronts ET25 - thinking 205-40s
16x9 rears ET20 - in 215-40s

I drive the shit out of everything. Am i in the game here?

Hey Darien,

The fronts are too high of an offset and will rub the strut housings. I'd go +15 there, and run either 195/45 or 205/45 tires. 205/40 will pop/bubble. Rears will work as is.

Jay,
Any thoughts on how I could fit BBS RM's on my '92 vert? I know stock on the wheels is 15x6.5 et 33.
I'm looking at a set that 8" wide with bigger lips. I'd want to have 3" lips on the rear. Would that work?
Suspension is GC conversion kit.

Thanks

15x8 with a 2" lip is about the maximum width for RMs on an E30. They're already at +14 offset, any more lip and they become difficult to fit properly.

15x8.5 et17 tire selection

What's up guys. I'm a noob in the wheel/tire game so looking for knowledge. Gonna be running 15x8.5 wheel with et17. Wondering what a good tire size would be to run without rubbing (don't wanna have to roll the fenders if I don't have to). My 325is couple is lowered a little on GC coils. Also wondering if I'm gonna have to run spacers.

Ahoy!

I have a 91' 318is, stock ride height. I was looking to put on Varrstoen DS12's in 15x8 et25. What tire size would work without fender modification or looking completely silly (I don't mind a slight stretch)? I was thinking tire sizes 205/50/15, 195/50/15 or 205/55/15?

16x7.5 et20. Car is a late model with h&r sports. Could a 205/50/16 fit without rolling? It has a 1.5mm space in the front for a brake kit.
